Hi all.

Do any have a solution for Unraid automatically monitoring and downloading videopodcasts ?

I would suggest podget (http://podget.sourceforge.net/index.php). It's a bash script with no UI that runs from a cron job. Podcasts from feeds you specify get placed in a directory you specify. It's very flexible. I use it on my Ubuntu server. It basically consists of the podget shell script and a couple config files that are generated the first time you run it.

 

If you have PHP and a web server running, you can pair it with PHPPPL (http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpppl/), which creates a nice web page that lists downloaded podcasts, descriptions, etc. I haven't tried PHPPPL with unraid, so you're on your own there.

P.S. I played with this some more on my unraid and here are a few additional notes:

 

1. The first time you run this it creates two config files in /root/.podgetrc: podgetrc and serverlist. Unfortunately, on the commandline you can only specify the filenames for these two files, not their paths. So, you'll have to create the /root/.podgetrc folder and copy the files into it via your /boot/config/go file. Alternatively, fix this in the podget bash source.

 

2. Make sure you edit podgetrc and change the download folder path to somewhere under /mnt/disk# so you aren't downloading files to your USB drive.

 

3. You'll also have to decide how you want to run podget. Every time you run it it'll go through the feeds in serverlist and only download new posts. It doesn't have a daemon mode so you're basically left with manual runs or a cron job.

Casget : impossible to compile

 

configure: error: Required library id3lib not found

 

With :

# ./configure --without-taglib
Same problem...
